<H1>Installation</H1>

<P>This distribution includes both the ladspa.h API header file and a
number of hosts and example plugins. Go to the <CODE>src/</CODE>
directory and type <CODE>make</CODE> to build and test them.</P>

<P>The <A HREF="ladspa.h.txt"><CODE>ladspa.h</CODE> API header
file</A> is needed to build hosts and plugins. It may be useful to
install it in <CODE>/usr/local/include/</CODE> or
<CODE>/usr/include/</CODE>. The programs generated in the
<CODE>bin/</CODE> directory may be moved to
<CODE>/usr/local/bin/</CODE> or <CODE>/usr/bin/</CODE> and the plugins
generated in the <CODE>plugins/</CODE> directory may be moved to
<CODE>/usr/local/lib/ladspa/</CODE> or
<CODE>/usr/lib/ladspa/</CODE>.</P>

<P>To perform automatic installation, log in as root and run
<CODE>make install</CODE>. This by default will install plugins, hosts
and the header file into the <CODE>/usr/local/</CODE> tree.</P>
